Inquiry (采购产品): Pipe My name is Jack Elliott Production Manager for Flex-O-Lite Inc. in Paris TX. We produce glass spheres out of recycled glass for traffic safety beads. We Produce these beads on vertical furnaces 42" wide X 17' tall X 1/2 "thick with gas burners that produce temp up to 1600 degrees F. We use two large 16000 cfm fans for cooling on the outer core. In the past we have used low alloy steel which will deteriorate & warp after one year of use & has a low transfer of heat & causes the molten glass to stick to the tube. We have in the past used a high carbon steel 3/8 " that worked excellent but was discontinued by past management because of cost. It is unknown by anyone in the plant what type it was but I do know it was hard & had to be cut with a plasma torch. I am looking for a high alloy that can achieve increased strength & heat transfer that will give use the same results as the high carbon steel that was tried before. We have also used stainless steel that does not work as will as the high carbon steel did because it does not transfer heat will. I would appreciate any help in this area & pricing. I would prefer using a 3/8 " thick material if all possible. Thanks, Jack Elliott Production Manager Flex-O-Lite Inc. 1601 19th St.NW.
